Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro coming to the UK on 6th October

Sony Ericsson’s latest smartphone to offer up a physical keyboard, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro, will touch down in the UK on October 6th, according to the folks at Clove.

“We have been informed today that we will be receiving stock of the Xperia Pro on the 6th October.” Says Clove. “This will please a lot of you I am sure as we have had many enquiries about the ETA of this device.”

Looking like a businessman’s Xperia Play, the Xperia Pro ditches the former’s PlayStation certified game pad in favour of a full physical QWERTY keyboard, for those still routinely firing off e-mails filled with auto-corrected jibber jabber. Other features include a 3.4-inch touchscreen, an 8.1MP sensor and Android 2.3 Gingerbread out of the box.

Clove will be stocking the Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro from Thursday 6th October for a SIM-free cost of £332.
